You hit on the real problem though. There's 75 days to go. These cute little distractions will lose their value long before we get to the home stretch.
Its not smart. Its just ridiculous. "Well they didn't specifically say they weren't going to implement a tax, so the door is wide-open" kind of logic is just asinine. There are plenty of legitimate issues to talk about.
